Lets think outside the box,
"Gaining mass also slowed down their speed, making them about 100,000 times slower than the speed of light they'd normally travel at."
What if the experiment slowed down the photon's, and that slower speed allowed them to pick up mass?

Amazing.

photons cannot gather mass. electrons focus Anglia information energy’s , into photons travel by quantum links ,as a positive push Energy motion . Photons engage instantly into a black spectrum negativity Energy , which adds a pull value ..... interaction between two opposing photons using the same quantum link . Will lose by stages negativity [pull]. positivity [push] = loss in light speed . Elementary particles are not photons.? try looking at ,Copenhagen interpretation . by deflection of negative angular waves from its detector , detected at slits . Jacktar

Light and I have a purely photonic relationship.

if the speed of these entangled photons is speed of light/100,000 = about 3000 m/s; and the speed of electricity through a copper wire is almost the speed of light; then how would using entangled photons increase the speed of a computer?

I'm glad the scientists doing the work probably do not read the comments in this rag... it's good that they don't need an audience that understands what they're doing.

We already knew that light (therefore photons) interacts with itself (without intermingling) from this experiement https://www.technologyreview.com/s/414412/light-repels-light/ Which should make us question whether light bends around stars because space is warped or simply because it's attracted to the giant light source. Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum but somehow in it's specific frequency range there's an abnormal (not found elsewhere) particle. Part of the confusion surrounding light is probably simply due that we can detect it with our eyes and naturally categorize it as distinct. My point is that we are far from understanding exactly what light is.

If photons have no weight to them, then how do radiometers work? You know, those glass globes with the white and black painted squares that spin when light hits them? Light of any given frequency (color of the spectrum) acts as both a wave of energy (through a diffraction grating) and as a particle (makes a radiometer spin). Also, all of the gaseous elements except for the noble gasses, always naturally run around in pairs, sharing their outer shell electrons in order to be stable instead of reacting with another element spontaneously. But eventually, Oxygen will cause steel to rust and Carbon to form CO2 and other reactions will occur between other elements also. Ozone (O3) is a form of Oxygen molecule that breaks back down again into O2 and becomes more stable again. So two molecules of O3 will recombine into three molecules of O2. It takes high amounts of energy to convert O2 into O3, and when that energy is dissipated, you get a reversion of the Oxygen back to its ground state.

So, make a Light Sabre work now and impress us!

These scientists alter and impose photons of orders on how to behave, all of which work with lasers, which are some kind of photon beam, but forced to behave. How, then, believe that "photon under pressure" - (laser). can order a photon how to behave, and what is nonsense, that photons turn into mass.
